Einführung
Hello and welcome to my German Christmas project by Guillaume . In this
project I have written about how German people celebrate Christmas, how
they decorate their houses, what they eat, what they do on Christmas Eve, on
Christmas day and about Father Christmas. You may find out they celebrate
stuff a little bit different from the way we do. So sit back and relax and enjoy
my presentation on Christmas in Germany, Thank you.
Enjoy The PowerPoint (Ho,Ho,Ho)
Wie feiern sie ?
Christmas in Germany is very traditional, like in many countries, they would
have a lot of advent calendars with 24 doors and chocolate behind and open
one every day starting from the 1st December to the 24th. Or others pack 24
presents and give them to a nice person. Also like many of us they put up a
Christmas tree. On the 24th of December many German people go to church and
gives each other a Christmas present. Then it is followed by a big Christmas
party.
Wie schmücken sie das Haus?
Germans love to decorate their houses at Christmas, like we do but they
decorate a little different for example:
•
•
•
•
•
They hang up little wooden frames with electric candles by there window
They also put coloured on there window to look nice from outside
They might also have a Adventskranz which is a wreath of leaves with four
candles
Also Advent for them meaning the 4 week period before christmas, well on each
Sunday of Advent they light a candle
Most people in Germany will have the same as us a little wooden crib, which is
a model of where jesus was born, with Mary, Joseph and animals

Heiligabend
In Germany on the 24th of December it’s the beginning of Christmas, In the
morning they open there last Christmas advent calendar door, where they
might have a little surprise. Then they get dressed for church where they will
wish each other a Merry Christmas. In the evening a big dinner is prepared,
they call it the holy night dinner the children put a carrot and a glass of milk by
the tree for Father Christmas and his reindeers and go to sleep, waiting for an
exiting morning.
Weihnachtsmann
Der Weihnachtsmann (Father Christmas) brings the presents on the 24th
December late at night after people have been to a church meeting or maybe
sleeping at home. Then the next day (25th December Christmas Day) the presents
are found under the tree a member of the family rings a bell and they can start
opening the presents.
